CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Our users are complaining that they want to be able to right click on a hyperlink and see the browser's normal navigation menu rather than the CiviCRM action menu. Is there a way to disable it for all but the "More" action in the last column of a row? The reason is they want to open a user's record in a new tab and leave the search results where they are.

Another thought is maybe the script could be modified to open a new tab or window, depending on the browser. I'm not a javascript expert so I can't answer my own question.

I read through the blog and thought the idea of replacing right-click with left-click was a reasonable solution.

We are short on resources but I am looking around for someone with the required skillset. I hope we can help.

In the meantime, one of our members found a workaround for us. This was posted to the blog:

And come to find out the solution was always there... (hurray Jason for figuring this out!)
Although, in the CiviCRM contact list, you can no longer simply right-click on a contact to access the menu to open in new tab, new window etc. you CAN do the following:
Press CTRL key and LEFT click to open contact in a new tab
Press SHIFT and LEFT click to open contact in a new window
In Firefox (but not I.E.): Press ALT and left click to download the contact's page (equivalent to "save target as" - it opens the page then saves it as an html with no stylesheet).
